The War of Antichrist with the Church and Christian Civilization by Monsignor George F.
Dillon Chapter thirteen
The Carbonari.
In this sect, the whole of the hitherto recognized principles of organized atheism were perfected and intensified.
In it, from the commencement, a cunning hypocrisy was the means most used as the best calculated to lead away a people Catholic to the very core.
The first of the Carbonati that we have any distinct notice of, appeared at a season when atheism, directed by Weishaupt, was busy in forming everywhere secret associations for apparently no purpose other than political amelioration.
He determined to try upon the peasantry of Italy.
The same arts which the French had intended for the Catholic peasantry of Ireland.
The United Irishmen were banded together to demand, amongst other things, Catholic emancipation.
Never had a people greater reason to rise against oppression than the Catholics of Ireland of that period.
They were urged on to do so, however, by leaders who, in many instances, were not Catholic, and who had no political grievance, and whose aim was the formation in Ireland of an independent republic, ruled, of course, by themselves, on the model of the one which was established then in France.
That seemed to the Catholic the only way to get out of the heretical domination which had, for such a lengthened period, oppressed his country.
Now the Carbonari of Italy were at first formed for a purpose identical with that of the United Irishmen.
They conspired to bring back their national independence ruined by the French, the freedom of their religion, and their rightful Bourbon sovereign.
With them it was made an indispensable obligation that each member should be not only a Catholic, but a Catholic going regularly to the sacraments.
They took for their grand master Jesus Christ our Lord.
